those dudes were bumping 75 Billion a night, and they could certainly do a lot more if they had to
a "residential customer" bank run doesn't even come close, it's sort of a historical thing to imagine. we should be imagining new and more creative Armageddon scenarios :P

there's some number like 50% of the population has less than $1000 in the bank
almost everyone with more than the FDIC limit (250k) keeps it spread between multiple banks, or is rolling bonds or T-bills, or some other method
even a substantial bank run on deposits wouldn't do very much, the repo window could handle it for a time

Of course the market would probably collapse due to panic anyway, if such a thing were happening. but if the question is "do the wheels fall off the rails of the banks from a pedestrian full deposit withdrawal", I don't think so. the banks could roll repo for months until people put money back in (it would be costly, sure, but rates are low, they'd survive). If people never put money back in, things would collapse, but they would probably already collapse everywhere else first because people wouldn't be spending money. There are monetary actions the fed could take to provide liquidity to help the banks at least. it's a very hypothetical situation though. I will ask Jerome what he thinks at our meeting later this month

You could have bought it cheaper, but it's an okay play.
Going all in on just CAH is dumb IMO. I've posted at least a half dozen times in the past two weeks that everyone should buy the triple threat: CAH ABC MCK.
You can also diversify with some XLV (whichever the sector one is, I think XLV but not 100%).

Please diversify please.
Don't re-learn the same lesson so many other people lost money to learn

go and work on getting good posts ready for tomorrow

don't waste any more time on this one, all the possible responses to your posts have already been made, it would just eat up internet bandwidth to continue at this point

zzz people these days 'protest' on facebook and twitter or not at all
maybe go to a park and hold up signs at worst

you'll only see real unrest if people go hungry in the 1st world

getting away from populated areas is its own reward

yo everything you posted here is textbook for a trader heading towards wipeout. if you're constantly pressured and thinking about big numbers you missed that isn't helpful.

when I sell options or stocks I never go back and calculate exactly how much I missed out on. I have a general idea, but I don't care what the numbers are.

if you're young you will get so many chances to make money. So many. The most important thing always is to stay safe, so that you can continue to enjoy these opportunities while keeping your stack healthy and growing.

You can't get greedy, can't chase virtual gains, most importantly don't get impatient, always be reminding yourself that the most important thing about investing or trading is to make sure that you can 'be there' for the dozens of opportunities in the next 5, 25, 50 years.

if you go to hard and wipe out in the next opportunities you see, then you won't make it to the next 50 great moments where you could be making compounding gains

timing your sells is always difficult, no one has an easy time with it. always err on the side of caution and locking in gains
